Objective: Household air pollution (HAP) is a widespread environmental exposure worldwide. While several cleaner fuel interventions have been implemented to reduce personal exposures to HAP, it is unclear if cooking with cleaner fuels also affects the choice of meals and dietary intake. Design: Individually randomised, open-label controlled trial of a HAP intervention. We aimed to determine the effect of a HAP intervention on dietary and Na intake. Intervention participants received a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) stove, continuous fuel delivery and behavioural messaging during 1 year whereas control participants continued with usual cooking practices that involved the use of biomass-burning stoves. Dietary outcomes included energy, energy-adjusted macronutrients and Na intake at baseline, 6 months and 12 months post-randomisation using 24-h dietary recalls and 24-h urine. We used t-tests to estimate differences between arms in the post-randomisation period. Setting: Rural settings in Puno, Peru. Participants: One hundred women aged 25-64 years.Results: At baseline, control and intervention participants were similar in age (47.4 v. 49.5 years) and had similar daily energy (8894.3 kJ v. 8295.5 kJ), carbohydrate (370.8 g v. 373.3 g) and Na intake (4.9 g v. 4.8 g). One year after randomisation, we did not find differences in average energy intake (9292.4 kJ v. 8788.3 kJ; P= 0.22) or Na intake (4.5 g v. 4.6 g; P = 0.79) between control and intervention participants. Conclusions: Our HAP intervention consisting of an LPG stove, continuous fuel distribution and behavioural messaging did not affect dietary and Na intake in rural Peru.
